Useful Propane Information

PROPANE USES

Safe, clean and efficient, propane is equally at home inside or outside of your house. In fact, economical, American-made propane can keep you and your family warm, protect you during a storm, and even dry your clothes…all at the same time. And, perhaps best of all, propane furnaces cost about half as much to operate as electric. Propane furnaces are also smaller and often last 15 to 20 years…. about 50 percent longer than most electric heat pumps. If you heat your home with propane but don’t have a propane hot water heater, you’re missing out on some of the savings. Propane water heaters cost up to 30 percent less to operate than electric water heaters, and they have a recovery rate that’s about twice as fast. That means you’ll have a hard time running out of hot water if you use propane. Plus, propane water heaters require less space, offer more sizing and installation options, and they have temperature adjustments that are more accurate than electric. It’s widely known that great chefs around the world choose gas so propane is right at home in your kitchen. Propane ovens/ranges not only cost less to operate, they distribute heat better, are easier to control and they are more precise as well. With propane, you can also turn your yard into a luxurious living space with an outdoor kitchen, an outdoor fireplace, propane gaslights, etc. And, propane pool heaters can add weeks or months to the swimming season, and a propane outdoor heater can turn the bitterly cold winter pleasant again…almost at the snap of your fingers. When spring showers come bringing heavy winds, lightning and all the rest, whole-house propane generators can keep you and your family safe and comfortable for days. Speaking of comfort, all the while you can look your best because propane clothes dryers are about twice as efficient as electric and cause less wear and tear on your clothes.
